Spider Vein Treatment

Eliminate unsightly leg veins and facial veins with advanced laser therapy for smooth, clear skin
Spider veins are small, damaged veins that appear as red, blue, or purple lines on the skin's surface. They commonly appear on the legs and face, and while they're usually harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome and affect your confidence.
At MedBeautyLA, we use the advanced Stellar M22 laser system to safely and effectively eliminate spider veins. The laser targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and fade away over time. The result is clearer, smoother skin without the need for invasive procedures.
The Stellar M22 delivers precise wavelengths of light energy that are absorbed by the blood in the spider veins. This causes the vein walls to heat up and collapse. Over the following weeks, your body naturally absorbs the treated veins, and they gradually fade from view.
The treatment is quick, relatively comfortable, and requires no downtime. Most patients need three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results.

Feel confident in shorts again. Here is what causes spider veins, how we treat them with laser and what treatment costs.
Spider veins (telangiectasias) are the small, red or purplish veins that appear just under the skin, typically on the thighs and behind the knees. They often occur as we age, after pregnancy, or from many hours spent standing on our feet.
While spider veins are not dangerous or a cause for medical concern, they can be a point of self-consciousness and distress for many of our clients. In fact, "how to get rid of spider veins" and "spider vein treatment" are some of the most popular search terms on our website.
The good news is there is effective, comfortable spider vein treatment available! Our providers use laser technology to target the area(s) of concern and break up the clusters of superficial veins.
Laser spider vein treatment for the lower legs is $400 per session. Your provider will confirm how many sessions you need at your consultation. Book a consultation or call us at (213) 640-4008.
Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap against the skin. It's tolerable for most people, and we can apply numbing cream for sensitive areas. The discomfort is brief and well worth the results.
Most clients require three to four laser sessions spaced four weeks apart in order to see the most significant change, though some clients see improvement in as little as just one appointment. Smaller veins may respond in one or two sessions, while larger or more extensive veins may require additional treatments.
Spider veins are small, thin veins close to the skin's surface. Varicose veins are larger, bulging veins that may require different treatment. We can assess your veins during consultation and recommend the best approach.
Yes, treated veins are permanently eliminated. However, you may develop new spider veins over time due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments can address any new veins that appear.
No! You can return to normal activities immediately. You may have mild redness or slight bruising for a few hours to a few days. We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24-48 hours and wearing compression stockings for leg vein treatments.
Treated veins will darken initially, then gradually fade over 2-6 weeks as your body absorbs them. You'll see progressive improvement with each treatment session.
